[0002] A washer-dryer is a common household clothes washing and protecting device. According to the washing method, the washer-dryer can be roughly divided into a pulsator washer-dryer and a drum washer-dryer. Taking a drum washer-dryer with a heat pump device as an example, a lint filter is generally arranged in the drying air duct. The lint filter is mainly used to filter and capture the lint in the high-humidity and high-temperature air coming out of the inner drum, so as to prevent the lint in the air from further entering the air duct and sticking to the evaporator of the heat pump device to affect the drying performance.

[0003] However, the washer-dryer is provided with a mode for reminding cleaning of the lint filter and a fixed cleaning period. The washer-dryer will only remind the user to clean the lint filter when the cumulative running period of the washer-dryer reaches the cleaning period. In this process, the user does not know how much the current running period has accumulated, and does not know how many periods are needed to clean the lint filter. For a specific user, the clothes of the user will generate more lint as the number of times of drying the clothes using the washer-dryer increases. If the user is still reminded to clean the lint filter according to the specific threshold, the lint on the lint filter may be accumulated too much due to the untimely cleaning reminder, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. For example, although the present application is described in combination with a washer-dryer, the technical solutions of the present application are not limited thereto, and in actual applications, the clothes treatment device can also be any one of a washing machine, a drying machine, a shoe washing machine, etc. Among them, the washer-dryer can be a pulsator washer-dryer, a drum washer-dryer, etc.

[0030] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "provides" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the communication inside two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the present application according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] Based on the technical problems proposed in the background art, the present application provides a control method for a washer-dryer, which aims to set the washer-dryer to have multiple reminder modes, each reminder mode having different reminder ways, and the user can select the reminder mode and the reminder way suitable for himself according to his own use demand, i.e. the target reminder mode, so that the washer-dryer can send the selected prompt information according to the cumulative running period in the way selected by the user, and can timely remind the user to clean the lint filter or inform the user of the cumulative running period of the washer-dryer according to the user's use demand, avoiding the phenomenon that the lint on the lint filter is accumulated too much due to untimely reminding, and thus improving the user experience.

[0033] Firstly, the washer-dryer of the present application is described.

[0034] The washer-dryer of the present application includes a lint filter, and the washer-dryer has multiple reminder modes, each reminder mode having different reminder ways.

[0035] Among them, the lint filter can be a drain lint filter, a drying lint filter, or other lint filters.

[0036] Preferably, the plurality of reminding modes comprises a first reminding mode, a second reminding mode and a third reminding mode, wherein the first reminding mode is to make a periodic reminding, i.e. the washing and drying all-in-one machine is reminded once every several cycles, and reminded once again when the target cycle is reached; the second reminding mode is to make a temporary reminding, i.e. reminded once before the target cycle is reached, and reminded once again when the target cycle is reached; and the third reminding mode is a standard reminding mode, i.e. reminded once when the target cycle is reached. Of course, the types of the plurality of reminding modes are not limited to the above-mentioned types, and can also comprise a fourth reminding mode, wherein the fourth reminding mode is to remind once every cycle, etc. The types of the plurality of reminding modes can be flexibly adjusted and set by the person skilled in the art according to actual use requirements, etc.

[0037] The control method of the present application is further described below taking the first reminding mode, the second reminding mode and the third reminding mode as examples.

[0038] Next, referring to Figure 1 , the control method of the present application is described. Wherein, Figure 1 is the main flow chart of the control method of the present application.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , the control method of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0040] S100, obtaining a target reminding mode;

[0041] S200, obtaining the cumulative running cycle of the washing and drying all-in-one machine;

[0042] S300, selectively sending a prompt message according to the target reminding mode and the cumulative running cycle.

[0043] In step S200, a statistical module is arranged on the washing machine, and the cumulative running time of the washing and drying all-in-one machine is counted through the statistical module. Wherein, the cumulative running cycle is the cycle accumulated since the first start or after the last cleaning of the lint filter.

[0044] Further, the cumulative running cycle comprises the cycle in which the washing and drying all-in-one machine has at least run the drying program, or the washing program, or the rinsing program, i.e. if the washing and drying all-in-one machine does not run the drying program, the washing program and the rinsing program during the running process, the cycle of the current running of the washing and drying all-in-one machine is not counted.

[0045] It should be noted that in the above process, the execution order of step S100 and step S200 is not limited to the above-mentioned order, and step S200 can be executed first and then step S100 can be executed, or step S100 and step S200 can be executed simultaneously, and the execution order of step S100 and step S200 can be flexibly adjusted and set by the person skilled in the art.

[0046] Hereinafter, refer to Figure 2 The control method of the target reminding mode acquisition mode of the present application is described. Among them, Figure 2 is the flow chart of the control method of the target reminding mode acquisition mode of the present application.

[0047] Among them, the target reminding mode is one of the first reminding mode, the second reminding mode and the third reminding mode; the third reminding mode is set as the standard reminding mode. Of course, the first reminding mode or the second reminding mode can also be set as the standard reminding mode.

[0048] As shown in Figure 2 , the step of "acquiring the target reminding mode" in step S100 specifically includes:

[0049] S111, acquiring a control instruction;

[0050] S112, judging whether the control instruction is acquired; if yes, executing step S113; if no, executing step S114;

[0051] S113, determining one of the multiple reminding modes as the target reminding mode according to the control instruction;

[0052] S114, determining the standard reminding mode as the target reminding mode.

[0053] In step S111, the control instruction can be acquired in real time after the washing and drying integrated machine is turned on, which ensures that the target reminding mode can be determined in time as long as the user inputs the control instruction.

[0054] Further, the control instruction input by the user in the form of voice can be acquired through the voice module of the washing and drying integrated machine; or the control instruction input by the user can be acquired through the control mechanism of the washing and drying integrated machine; or the control instruction input by the user can be acquired through the intelligent terminal in communication connection with the washing and drying integrated machine, wherein the intelligent terminal can be a terminal device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart bracelet, a smart watch, etc.

[0055] Further, the multiple reminding modes can be displayed on the display module of the washing and drying integrated machine, or the reminding modes can be displayed on the intelligent terminal.

[0056] Preferably, the intelligent terminal and the washing and drying integrated machine can be in communication connection through a wide area network, a local area network, WIFI, "WIFI+router accessing the Internet", Bluetooth, ZIGBEE, NFC, 3G / 4G / 5G, etc.

[0057] In step S113, if the control instruction is received by the washer-dryer, it indicates that the user has special requirements for the prompting mode and prompting effect of the lint filter cleaning prompt, and the selected prompting mode among the three prompting modes listed above is determined according to the control instruction, and the selected prompting mode is determined as the target prompting mode. It should be noted that in this process, the user can select any one of the first, second and third prompting modes as the target prompting mode, and the washer-dryer can prompt according to the target prompting mode.

[0058] In step S114, if the control instruction is not received by the washer-dryer, it indicates that the user has no special requirements for the prompting mode and prompting effect of the lint filter cleaning prompt, and in order to ensure that the washer-dryer can normally prompt the user to clean the lint filter, the standard prompting mode (for example, the third prompting mode) is determined as the target prompting mode, and the washer-dryer can prompt according to the standard prompting mode.

[0059] It should be noted that in the above process, step S113 and step S114 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the control instruction is obtained, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0060] The following describes three embodiments of the control method for selectively sending prompt information of the present application. Figures 3 to 6 , wherein, Figure 3 is a flowchart of the control method for selectively sending prompt information of the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 ; Figure 4 is a flowchart of the control method for selectively sending prompt information of the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 ; Figure 5 is a flowchart of the control method for selectively sending prompt information of the second embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 ; Figure 6 is a flowchart of the control method for selectively sending prompt information of the second embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 ; Figure 7 is a flowchart of the control method for selectively sending prompt information of the third embodiment of the present application.

[0061] Example 1: The target reminder mode is the first reminder mode

[0062] As shown in Figure 3 , the step of "obtaining the cumulative running period of the washer-dryer" in step S200 specifically includes:

[0063] S211, obtaining the current cumulative running period and the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer.

[0064] In step S211, the current cumulative running period and the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer are counted by the counting module. The current cumulative running period is the period accumulated since the washer-dryer is first powered on or since the last time the lint filter is cleaned or since the last time the prompt information is sent. The total cumulative running period is the period accumulated since the washer-dryer is first powered on or since the last time the lint filter is cleaned.

[0065] With reference to the foregoing Figure 3 , in step S300, the step of "selectively sending prompt information according to the target prompt mode and the cumulative running period" specifically includes:

[0066] S311, determining the first preset period and the second preset period according to the first prompt mode;

[0067] S312, determining whether the current cumulative running period reaches the first preset period; if not, executing step S313; if yes, executing step S317;

[0068] S313, not sending prompt information;

[0069] S314, determining whether the lint filter is cleaned; if yes, executing step S315; if not, executing step S316;

[0070] S315, re-counting the current cumulative running period and the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer;

[0071] S316, continuously counting the current cumulative running period and the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer;

[0072] S317, determining whether the total cumulative running period reaches the second preset period;

[0073] S318, selectively sending different prompt information according to the determination result.

[0074] In step S311, the first preset period is less than the second preset period, for example, the first preset period is 100 periods and the second preset period is 500 periods, which can be prompted once every 100 periods, and can be prompted five times. Of course, the first preset period and the second preset period are not limited to the above-mentioned periods, the first preset period can also be 50 periods or 80 periods or other periods, and the second preset period can also be 200 periods or 300 periods or other periods, no matter how to adjust and set the first preset period and the second preset period, as long as the first preset period is less than the second preset period, prompting once every first preset period.

[0075] In step S313, if the current accumulated running period does not reach the first preset period, for example, the first preset period is 100 periods, and the current accumulated running period is 80 periods, the first preset period is not reached, which indicates that the current accumulated running period is less since the first start or the last time the lint filter is cleaned or the last time the prompt information is sent, and the prompt requirement is not reached, and thus the prompt information is not sent.

[0076] In step S314, some users may clean the lint filter without receiving the prompt information for cleaning the lint filter, and thus the current accumulated running period and the total accumulated running period cannot accurately reflect the collection of the lint filter, and thus it is necessary to determine whether the lint filter is cleaned.

[0077] In step S315, if the lint filter is cleaned, it indicates that the user has cleaned the lint filter in advance without receiving the prompt information for cleaning the lint filter, and thus the current accumulated running period and the total accumulated running period cannot accurately reflect the collection of the lint filter, and it is necessary to re-count the current accumulated running period and the total accumulated running period, and return to step S312, so as to continue to determine whether the prompt information is sent.

[0078] In step S316, if the lint filter is not cleaned, it indicates that the user has not cleaned the lint filter in advance, and thus the current accumulated running period and the total accumulated running period can accurately reflect the collection of the lint filter, and it is not necessary to re-count the current accumulated running period and the total accumulated running period, and it is only necessary to continue to count the current accumulated running period and the total accumulated running period, and return to step S312, so as to continue to determine whether the prompt information is sent.

[0079] In step S317, if the current accumulated running period reaches the first preset period, for example, the first preset period is 100 periods, and the current accumulated running period is 100 periods, the first preset period is reached, which indicates that the current accumulated running period is more since the first start or the last time the lint filter is cleaned or the last time the prompt information is sent, and the prompt requirement is reached, but at this time, it can be the first time to reach the first preset period, or it can be the fifth time to reach the first preset period, that is, the total accumulated running period reaches the second preset period, and the prompt information to be sent when the second preset period is reached is different from the prompt information to be sent when only the first preset period is reached, and the purposes of the prompts are different, and thus it is necessary to determine whether the total accumulated running period reaches the second preset period.

[0080] It should be noted that in the above process, step S313 and step S317 have no sequence, are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the current cumulative running period reaches the first preset period, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results. Step S315 and step S316 have no sequence, are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the lint filter is cleaned, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0081] Next, refer to Figure 4 In step S318, the step of selectively sending different prompt information according to the judgment result specifically includes:

[0082] S321, if the total cumulative running period reaches the second preset period, the first prompt information is sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter;

[0083] S322, if the total cumulative running period does not reach the second preset period, the second prompt information is sent to prompt the user to wash the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer.

[0084] In step S321, if the total cumulative running period reaches the second preset period, for example, the second preset period is 500 periods, and the total cumulative running period is 500 periods, which reaches the second preset period, it means that the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer since the first start or the last cleaning of the lint filter is very large, and the lint collected in the lint filter is very large, which has reached the requirement of cleaning the lint filter, and the first prompt information is sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter.

[0085] Further, after sending the first prompt information, it is judged whether the lint filter is cleaned; if yes, it means that the lint filter has been cleaned, and then the current cumulative running period and the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer are re-counted; if no, it means that the lint filter has not been cleaned, and the first prompt information is continuously sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter; if the washer-dryer continues to run under the condition that the lint filter has not been cleaned, the current cumulative running period and the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer can also be continuously counted to prompt the user to the current cumulative running period and the total cumulative running period of the washer-dryer.

[0086] If the total cumulative running period does not reach the second preset period, for example, the second preset period is 500 periods, and the total cumulative running period is 400 periods, the second preset period is not reached, and the requirement for cleaning the lint filter is not met, the first prompt information does not need to be sent; but the current cumulative running period reaches the first preset period, which means that the washing and drying machine has been running for more periods since the last sending of the second prompt information, and the requirement for prompting is met, and the second prompt information is sent to prompt the user about the total cumulative running period of the washing and drying machine.

[0087] Further, after sending the second prompt information, the current cumulative running period of the washing and drying machine is re-counted, and the total cumulative running period of the washing and drying machine is continuously counted, and the step S312 is returned to determine whether to send the prompt information again.

[0088] Preferably, the washing and drying machine can send the prompt information in the form of voice or ringtone; the washing and drying machine can display the prompt information on the display module of the washing and drying machine; and the washing and drying machine can send the prompt information to the terminal device such as the user's mobile phone, tablet computer, smart bracelet, etc.

[0089] It should be noted that in the above process, the steps S321 and S322 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the determination result of whether the total cumulative running period reaches the second preset period, and the corresponding steps are executed according to different determination results.

[0090] Example 2: The target reminder mode is the second reminder mode

[0091] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 In step S300, the step of "selectively sending prompt information according to the target prompting mode and the cumulative running period" specifically includes:

[0092] S331, determining the third preset period and the fourth preset period according to the second prompting mode;

[0093] S332, determining whether the cumulative running period reaches the third preset period; if yes, executing step S333; if no, executing step S342, which will be described below;

[0094] S333, sending the prompt information to prompt the user about the cumulative running period of the washing and drying machine;

[0095] S334, continuously counting the cumulative running period of the washing and drying machine;

[0096] S335, determining whether the continuously counted cumulative running period reaches the fourth preset period;

[0097] S336, selectively sending the prompt information according to the judgment result.

[0098] In step S331, the third preset period is less than the fourth preset period, for example, the third preset period is 490 periods and the fourth preset period is 500 periods, and the operation can be reminded once at 490 periods and 500 periods, and the reminding can be twice. Of course, the third preset period and the fourth preset period are not limited to the above-mentioned periods, the third preset period can also be 150 periods or 280 periods or other periods, and the second preset period can also be 200 periods or 300 periods or other periods, no matter how to adjust and set the third preset period and the fourth preset period, as long as the third preset period is less than the fourth preset period, the reminding can be twice.

[0099] In step S333, if the cumulative operation period reaches the third preset period, for example, the third preset period is 490 periods and the cumulative operation period is 490 periods, the third preset period is reached, which indicates that the washing and drying machine has been operated for a large number of periods since the first start or the last cleaning of the lint filter, and is about to reach the requirement for cleaning the lint filter, and has reached the requirement for prompting the user in advance, the prompt information is sent to prompt the user about the cumulative operation period of the washing and drying machine.

[0100] Preferably, the washing and drying machine can send the prompt information in the form of voice or ring tone; the washing and drying machine can display the prompt information on the display module of the washing and drying machine; the washing and drying machine can also send the prompt information to the terminal device such as the user's mobile phone, tablet computer, smart bracelet, etc.

[0101] In step S334, after sending the prompt information, since the cumulative operation period has only reached the third preset period and has not reached the fourth preset period, the user has not been prompted to clean the lint filter, therefore, the cumulative operation period of the washing and drying machine is continued to be counted, so as to selectively send the prompt information according to the judgment result of whether the continued counting of the cumulative operation period reaches the fourth preset period.

[0102] Next, continue to refer to Figure 6 In step S336, the step of "selectively sending the prompt information according to the judgment result" specifically includes:

[0103] S341, if the continued counting of the cumulative operation period reaches the fourth preset period, the prompt information is sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter.

[0104] In step S341, if the accumulated running period continues to reach the fourth preset period, for example, the fourth preset period is 500 periods, and the accumulated running period is 500 periods, the accumulated running period reaches the fourth preset period, which means that the total accumulated running period of the washer-dryer since the first start or the last cleaning of the lint filter is very long, and the lint collected in the lint filter is very much, which meets the requirement of cleaning the lint filter, and a prompt information is sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter.

[0105] Preferably, the washer-dryer can send the prompt information in the form of voice or ring tone; the washer-dryer can display the prompt information on the display module of the washer-dryer; and the washer-dryer can also send the prompt information to the terminal device such as the mobile phone, tablet, smart bracelet, etc. of the user.

[0106] Further, after sending the prompt information, it is judged whether the lint filter is cleaned; if yes, it means that the lint filter has been cleaned, and the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer is re-counted; if no, it means that the lint filter has not been cleaned, and the prompt information is continuously sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter; if the washer-dryer continues to run under the condition that the lint filter has not been cleaned, the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer is continuously counted to prompt the user about the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer.

[0107] Again referring to Figure 6 In the case that the accumulated running period does not reach the third preset period or the accumulated running period continues to reach the fourth preset period, the control method further comprises:

[0108] S342, the prompt information is not sent;

[0109] S343, it is judged whether the lint filter is cleaned; if yes, step S344 is performed; if no, step S345 is performed;

[0110] S344, the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer is re-counted;

[0111] S345, the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer is continuously counted.

[0112] In step S342, if the accumulated running period does not reach the third preset period, for example, the third preset period is 490 periods, and the accumulated running period is 300 periods, which means that the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer since the first start or the last cleaning of the lint filter is slightly less, and it has not reached the requirement of prompting the user in advance, and the prompt information is not sent.

[0113] Alternatively, if the cumulative operating cycle has not reached the fourth preset cycle, for example, if the fourth preset cycle is 500 cycles and the cumulative operating cycle is 495 cycles, it means that the washer-dryer has accumulated fewer cycles since the first start-up or the last cleaning of the lint filter, and has not yet met the requirements for cleaning the lint filter, then no prompt message will be sent.

[0114] In step S343, some users may clean the lint filter without receiving a prompt message to clean it. In this case, the cumulative operating cycle count cannot accurately reflect the lint collection status of the lint filter. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the lint filter has been cleaned.

[0115] In step S344, if the lint filter is cleaned, it means that the user has cleaned the lint filter in advance without receiving a prompt message to clean it. In this case, the cumulative operating cycle count cannot accurately reflect the lint collection status of the lint filter. The cumulative operating cycle count needs to be recalculated, and the process returns to step S332 to continue determining whether to send a prompt message.

[0116] In step S345, if the lint filter is not cleaned, it means that the user did not clean the lint filter in advance. At this time, the cumulative operating cycle can accurately reflect the lint collection status of the lint filter. There is no need to recalculate the cumulative operating cycle. Just continue to calculate the cumulative operating cycle and return to step S332 to continue to determine whether to send a prompt message.

[0117] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S333 and S342 are parallel and have no sequential order. They are only related to the judgment result of whether the cumulative operating cycle has reached the third preset cycle. The corresponding steps are executed according to different judgment results. Similarly, steps S341 and S342 are parallel and have no sequential order. They are only related to the judgment result of whether the continuously calculated cumulative operating cycle has reached the fourth preset cycle. The corresponding steps are executed according to different judgment results. Finally, steps S344 and S345 are parallel and have no sequential order. They are only related to the judgment result of whether the lint filter has been cleaned. The corresponding steps are executed according to different judgment results.

[0118] Example 3: The target reminder mode is the third reminder mode

[0119] like Figure 7 As shown, step S300, "selectively sending notification information based on the target notification mode and cumulative running cycle," specifically includes:

[0120] S351. Determine the fifth preset cycle based on the third reminder mode;

[0121] S352, determine whether the accumulated running period reaches the fifth preset period; if yes, execute step S353; if no, execute step S354;

[0122] S353, if the accumulated running period reaches the fifth preset period, send a prompt information to prompt the user to clean the lint filter; and / or

[0123] S354, if the accumulated running period does not reach the fifth preset period, do not send the prompt information.

[0124] In step S351, for example, the fifth preset period is 500 periods, which can be reminded once after 500 periods. Of course, the fifth preset period is not limited to the above-mentioned period, and the fifth preset period can also be 300 periods or 400 periods or other periods, and the fifth preset period can be flexibly adjusted and set according to the actual use demand by those skilled in the art.

[0125] In step S353, if the accumulated running period reaches the fifth preset period, for example, the fifth preset period is 500 periods, and the accumulated running period is 500 periods, which reaches the fifth preset period, indicating that the total accumulated running period of the washer-dryer since the first start or the last cleaning of the lint filter is very large, and the lint collected in the lint filter is very large, which has reached the requirement of cleaning the lint filter, and the prompt information is sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter.

[0126] Preferably, the washer-dryer can send the prompt information in the form of voice or ring tone; the washer-dryer can display the prompt information on the display module of the washer-dryer; the washer-dryer can also send the prompt information to the user's mobile phone, tablet, smart bracelet and other terminal devices.

[0127] Further, after sending the prompt information, it is determined whether the lint filter is cleaned; if yes, it indicates that the lint filter has been cleaned, and the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer is re-counted; if no, it indicates that the lint filter has not been cleaned, and the prompt information is continued to be sent to prompt the user to clean the lint filter; if the washer-dryer continues to run in the case that the lint filter has not been cleaned, the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer can also be continued to be counted to prompt the user about the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer.

[0128] In step S354, if the accumulated running period does not reach the fifth preset period, for example, the fifth preset period is 500 periods, and the accumulated running period is 150 periods, which does not reach the fifth preset period, indicating that the accumulated running period of the washer-dryer since the first start or the last cleaning of the lint filter is slightly less, and has not reached the prompt requirement, and the prompt information is not sent.

[0129] Further, after step S354, it is judged whether the lint filter is cleaned; if yes, it means that the lint filter has been cleaned completely, and the cumulative running period of the washing-drying integrated machine is restarted to be counted; if no, it means that the lint filter has not been cleaned completely, and the cumulative running period of the washing-drying integrated machine is continued to be counted.

[0130] It should be noted that, in the above process, step S353 and step S354 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the cumulative running period reaches the fifth preset period, and corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.
